Note: The Customizer's radio signals will not control components directly. You must have an Expander to receive the Customizer's radio signals. Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the Customizer unless the component can be switched to standard infrared control via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Customizer. 30 URC-300 The Customizer sends radio signal to the Expander, which is a radio receiver. The Expander converts radio signals to standard infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front blaster to components in the same cabinet space. Self-adhesive "flashers" (included in the Expander kit) affix to the front panels of your components. [. . . ]
